Adopting the Android operating system has been one of the main reasons for HTC’s recent success, and has lead to successful smartphones like the Legend, Google’s Nexus One, and now the HTC Desire. Originally manufacturing smartphones for other companies to sell as their own, HTC’s own brand is becoming more and more popular. So what has their latest entry into the smartphone market got to offer consumers?

If you compare the Desire to Google’s Nexus One, you might struggle to notice any significant differences between them. The Nexus One has a slightly better build quality with its unibody construction, but the Desire looks and feels like a solid, high end touchscreen smartphone. With easily accessible touchscreen and traditional buttons, as well as an optical trackball that doesn’t dominate the phone, you start to realize that this smartphone has plans on being more than just the Nexus One’s little cousin.

The Desire is pretty impressive on the inside too. Underneath the 3.7 inch AMOLED screen there’s a fast Snapdragon processor to make dealing with all the different apps and functions a fast and painless experience. HTC have also increased the RAM to 512MB just to make sure there’s enough memory to match the processing power.

With a 5 megapixel camera that also has autofocus and an LED flash, the HTC Desire gives you everything you need to get great shots in just about all situations, especially with the wide 5:3 format making sure you get even more in. Video capture is high resolution, if not high definition, so recording moving pictures will give you results almost as good as your still images, and better than many of the other smartphones on the market.

The turning point that really kickstarted HTC’s recent success was a couple of years ago when they decided to adopt Android as their main operating system. Since then, they have continued to build on this platform, with the Desire offering the up to date 2.1 version, as well as a host of HTC interfaces that work really well with it. The Sense overlay provides an easy to use and enjoyable user interface, that also includes features like Friendstream and Leap. Friendstream makes managing all your social networking easy, and Leap does the same for your home screens, both ensuring that the Desire will be a popular choice among smartphone users.

From an almost standing start a few years ago, HTC has already proved they can manufacture the kind of smartphones that users want to buy. With high spec technology and impressive software, the HTC Desire simply reinforces this idea.
